I see both sides. Easy to change my Miata rim/tires from summer to winter so a flat presents no problem as I carry a spare tire/rim. Having said that heavy suv wheels/tires are more challenging.

Also if you don't call AMA/CAA or whatever there is the risk of being hit by a moving vehicle as you change the tire on the side of the road. Obviously common sense would state to move off the road to the right as much as possible .
